Chapter 25: ultimate plan to reclaim Onett part two

Like I said massive file size so I had to split it but I consider it one chapter. Enjoy

Lucas and Krystal came down a hallway to find a large staircase and a bridge to a door on the other side.

"I'll go through that door." Lucas said.

"Wait Lucas, I don't think we should split up." Krystal suggested.

"Don't worry I'll be fine." Lucas assured.

"No way, we can't afford any mistakes here." Krystal refused.

Lucas hung his head low and clenched his fist.

"But I guess we would risk more if we were both caught by an enemy." Krystal rethought.

Lucas was overjoyed to hear this and immediately ran towards the door.

"Wai…never mind." Krystal said choosing to let it go.

"ROB." She said into the intercom.

"Yes Krystal?" ROB replied.

"Can you detect exactly were the generator room is?" she inquired.

"I can't offer exact details, but I can locate the rooms with the most unorthodox activity. He replied.

"Do whatever you can." She responded.

ROB began performed a scanning of the building and was astonished by the results.

"According to the scanner, there are three energy generating rooms." ROB said.

"One is in the cell deck powering the plant with electricity. Another is not far from the assembly decks Snake mentioned and the third is in the top of the very staircase your in." ROB elaborated.

"You can't be serious. What kind of plant could these people be running?" Krystal questioned.

"It appears some unidentified persons are making they're way to the electrical plant." ROB pointed out.

"It must be those new recruits Snake mentioned." Krystal assumed.

"I'm going in."

"Be careful Krystal!" Slippy said.

"Don't worry I'll be fine." She said as she began climbing the stair case.

"Ridley!" a man said. "We're leaving."

"WHAT!?" Ridley said. "How can you say all that crap earlier and then cower at the end!" Ridley screamed.

"It's not cowering, I'm just following a strict plan that you'll see eventually." The man said as he dropped something on a desk.

"This place will crumble soon." The man said. "You collect the children, I'll make my way to headquarters." he said as entered some machine.

"Like your one to give orders." Ridley replied. "Very well then."

Link and Mario were able to escort the prisoners to the east exit of the building.

"Okay I'll evacuate them to a safe location while you make sure no guards followed us." Mario said.

"No problem." Link said as he passed the prisoners on to Mario.

He then walked back inside and hid behind the corner of the wall. He then listened carefully. Soon he could hear very faint footsteps.

"You think you can hide from these ears huh?" Link said reading his sword.

"HIIIYAH!" he said as he turned the corner ready to attack.

"POYO!?" Kirby said frightened half too death.

"Kirby? Whoops." Link said sheathing his sword. "You okay?"

Kirby fainted on the ground after the shock.

"I need to get you out of here." Link said. Just then he heard a mass of footsteps.

"What is that?" Link questioned as he returned around the corner dragging Kirby with him.

He peered around to see Samus and the remaining slaves.

"Huh? What she doing here?" Link thought. "Well it looks like she is on our side this time."

Samus traveled down the hallway and on here way there noticed a large door. She decided to ignore it for the moment. Soon she and the people made it to the corner.

"Oh, you're here too." She said unenthusiastically.

"Did any of those guards follow you?" Link inquired.

"No they're all taken care off." Samus replied.

"Good then, my job is done here let's get these people out off here." Link said.

"You take care of that something caught my eye here." Samus said.

Link nodded and took the people to the exit.

Samus then returned to the door prior.

"So what are you hiding?" Samus questioned herself.

She put her ear on the door. She could her small shrieks and cracking sounds. There were also angry men inside giving orders.

"This must be a prison cell we missed, but why is it so much bigger than the others?" Samus said.

She then blew off the hinges of the door causing it to fall down.

"Hey who's there!" a man angrily asked as he stepped out of the room.

There was no one to be seen. Suddenly he was grabbed and beaten.

"Hey what's going on?" another man inquired. He walked out as well only to find he's comrades broken body.

"What the hell?" the man said in fear.

Samus struck the man unconscious as well and entered the room. Inside was a massive generator attached to hundreds of cages with small yellow mice by bars.

"Using lab rats for energy? Whoever these people the space pirates allied themselves with are sick." Samus said.

Suddenly all the mice's cheeks began to glow as they began producing electricity for the generator. However, they quickly powered out.

"What kind of testing did these rats go through?" Samus wondered.

She then activated a scanner in her helmet.

"Pichu the small mouse pokemon. It stores large amounts of electricity in its cheeks and can release enough bolts to damage an adult human. Being in its earliest stage of development, it cannot store energy properly and can release electricity when startled or excited. Using this electricity also harms it's own body." The scanner analyzed.

"Pokemon? I'm not quite sure what that is, but no creature deserves to be subjected to this kind of torture." Samus decided. "Especially at such an early age."

She then destroyed the generator with a laser blast. The explosion was powerful enough to destroy the bars holding the cages up causing them to fall and crack open.

The Pichu immediately fled the scene in massive numbers letting nature control them.

"I guess they already know where to go." Samus thought.

Soon the number of Pichu depleted until there was but one struggling to even move.

"What are you waiting for? Your family is leaving." Samus said to the small mouse.

It tried it's hardest to crawl towards the exit, but didn't make it far before collapsing.

"Huh!" Samus gasped. She knelt down and lifted it off the ground.

"I can't take you to your birthplace, but I can't just leave you here." She said.

She left the building with the Pichu in hand.

Snake found himself inside a large assembly line room where the guns built by the workers were charged with phazon by large turkey baster-like machines. They were then taken too another room beyond a door.

Snake entered the next room to find the entire weapons facility.

"Jackpot!" Snake said as he saw all the weapons a mercenary could ever imagine.

From super scopes to regular hand pistols there were weapons as far as the eye could see.

"All this stuff is good, but I just need my good old dream team of weapons that were taken from me." He said.

He searched the room looking in every crack and corner looking for a sign of his original weapons.

"Damn, not here." He said finding not even a clue to his lost weapons.

"This is Snake; it looks like all they had been doing in this building were making weapons using this phazon." Snake said. "My question is why did they pick this spot to do this in?"

"Hmm that is something worth noting." ROB said.

"The thing I find odd about this whole thing is that it was too easy." Snake said. "It seemed like everything was setup so that our plan would work like they expected us to do the things we did watching our every move." He continued.

"I think we just stepped right into the trap."

Snake waited for a response, but was greeted with static.

"ROB? Slippy? Come in." Snake said frantically waiting for a response.

"Hello Snake." A voice responded.

"You…" Snake said recognizing the voice.

"Indeed, you've figured out our little game, but this is only the beginning." The voice said.

"You can't be planning on using this phazon stuff to make another metal gear?" Snake said.

"Oh no Snake, I plan on making something far greater than any machine." The voice said. "You can call gear NES."

"Gear NES? What kind of name is that?" Snake inquired.

"You'll find out when the time is right, for now I think it would only be proper to let you in on a little secret." The voice said.

"I've started a bomb that will go off in approximately three minutes." The voice said. "I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to escape in enough time if you worry for your self, but I have cut off your connection to your comrades." The voice continued.

"What!?" Snake replied in anger.

"I have no use for this place anymore, so I'll use it as a test to see how compassionate someone like you can be?" the voice said. "Now you have two minutes and fifty seconds."

"Damn." Snake said.

Without haste he ran out of the room.

Lucas ran down a hallway and eventually met up with Fox and Falco.

"Lucas, were is Krystal?" Fox inquired.

"She's back behind that door." Lucas said pointing down to the door he left.

"Why'd you separate?" Fox asked.

"I figured we'd cover more ground on finding the generator if we split up." Lucas said.

"Well there's no generator pass that door." Falco said pointing in the direction they came from.

"Then we should go and help Krystal." Fox said.

Meanwhile, Krystal had entered a very refined and aristocratic room. There were to bookcases on the left and right wall and a desk with a window behind it.

Krystal slowly approached the desk and found a sheet of paper next too a box. The paper was a chart off sorts and the box contained a horde off weapons.

"Why would someone leave something so important here?" Krystal asked herself.

She decided to keep the paper and examine the room more. She searched under the desk and found a button that revealed a hidden room behind the left bookcase.

"Just like I thought, always behind the bookcase." Krystal said with a smirk.

She entered to find four large tubes connected to some kind off machine. Behind the machine there was a balcony in which a seat was surrounded by cameras.

"This must have been the main office." Krystal thought.

Soon the building began shaking.

"What's going on?" Krystal pondered.

Snake was able to make it outside where he saw Link, Mario, Samus and Kirby evacuating the horde of civilians.

"So you made it out of there." Samus said with a hint of disbelief in her voice.

"No time to chat, where's Fox and the others?" Snake inquired.

"I think they're still inside." Link replied.

"They have to get out their, the whole place is gonna blow." Snake alerted.

"WHAT!?" they all said in shock.

"My intercom was tampered with, can any of you get in contact with them?" snake asked.

"I'll try." Mario said.

"This is Mario, come in." he said into the intercom.

"This is Fox; we're heading to the top floor of the plant to get Krystal." Fox responded.

"What! You guys got to get out of their, the whole place is going to explode." Mario warned.

"What, damn it how much time left?" Fox inquired.

"I'd say less than a minute." Snake estimated.

"About a minute." Mario dictated.

"Shoot, there's no time!" Fox said.

"Tell them not to worry about Krystal." Snake said taking aim with the super scope.

"Wait what are you doing?" Samus inquired.

"Don't worry about Krystal, Snake has a plan apparently." Mario assured in the words of Snake.

"WHAT!? How can you even tell me that?" Fox said angered. They soon made it to the staircase.

"You guys get out of here I'm going to get Krystal!" Fox said as he quickly made his way up the stairs.

Outside, Snake finished charging the laser and was prepared to fire.

"One shot at this." Snake muttered to himself.

Inside, Fox made it inside the executive office area of the plant.

"Krystal!" He called.

Krystal had just walked out of the secret room only to find a frantic Fox.

"I'm right here." Krystal said in an attempt to calm him down.

Soon the building began rumbling harder.

"What is that?" Krystal questioned.

"No time we have to get out of here." Fox said.

Suddenly the North most wall was completely obliterated.

"Hurry and get out of there!" Snake called out.

Before Krystal could think, Fox swept her off her feet and jumped out of the hole.

Behind them the building burst into flames.
